Do Hyacinths Multiply?

Ask The Expert: Do hyacinths multiply? When is the best time and method to move them? Patty

Yes, they produce offshoots that can be removed during the dormant season. The dormant season for hyacinths is summer. The best way is to dig up your hyacinths and remove the offshoots and place the parent bulb right back into the ground. You can either plant the offshoots at that time or wait until later. If you are not immediately planting the offshoots, you will need to clean all soil off of the bulb and keep in a moist free envorionment with good air circulation.
